Tough Pot for Black; Nice Pot for Flack
At a different table, Layne Flack had different fortune. He raised to 2,300 and was called by Michael Binger. Each player drew one card. Flack bet 5,000 after the draw and Binger called. Flack's 9-5 was the best hand and dragged the pot.

More Eliminations
Berry Johnston has also been eliminated. His 17,600 all in was called by a player who made a jack-nine. Johnston drew one, holding 5-4-3-2, but picked up a queen.
Giang and Hansen Having Fun
"Come on," he said. "I think I'll bet in the dark if you'll call in the dark."
"I can't promise I'll call in the dark," responded Hansen.
Giang bet 5,000 and Hansen did eventually make the call. Giang showed 9-8-7-6-4 to rake the pot.
A Call For the Ages
Antonius Eliminated
Schneider stood pat with a 9-6. Antonius drew one but couldn't draw well. He paired his fives and is out. Schneider is up to about 80,000 chips.
Greg Raymer Eliminated
Bryan Colin Eliminated
Greenstein Doubles via Deeb
"How much more is it?" Deeb asked.
"5,600," replied the dealer.
Deeb silently slid 5,600 chips out in front of him, then flashed his hand with an "oops" grin on his face: 8-8-Q-2-3. He threw away the queen and an eight and drew two. Greenstein stood pat and opened a 9-7.
Deeb squeezed out a 5, but his other card was a jack for a jack-eight. He threw his hand into the muck.
"I didn't like that," he said.
"I didn't like it either," replied Greenstein. He is now up to 36,000 in chips.
